Onion Flower

Author: Eat Pretty Darling

Simply slicing and baking turns this veggie into a beautiful bloom! Kids will love seeing the onion transform in the oven.

Ingredients

• 1 medium onion
• 1 teaspoon olive oil
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• Ketchup for dipping (or your favorite dip!)

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
2. Take the onion and carefully slice off a tiny bit of the bottom root end just so it will lay flat. Cutting to much will cause your flower to fall apart! Cut the onion in half stopping about 1/2 inch from the bottom. Turn and cut in half again, and again making sure not to cut all the way through. Making 8 sections of onion.
3. Place the onion on a lined baking sheet and brush olive oil all over the onion letting it drip down into the slices. Sprinkle with salt and bake for 20-25 minutes or until the onion has fully bloomed! Serve with your favorite dipping sauce.
